How Koreans view the law (1)
How Koreans view the law (1)
Having worked as both a judge and a lawyer, I have seen and experienced the workings of the law from different perspectives in Korea. From 1965 to 1974, I sat as a judge in the Seoul District Court on both civil and criminal cases. In 1975, I was a Seoul High Court judge, and from 1975 to 1977 I served as a research judge for the Supreme Court. After working for a number of y...

Trump-Xi Jinping summit
Trump-Xi Jinping summit
Chinese President Xi Jinping and U.S. President Donald Trump will hold a get-acquainted summit next week at Trump’s seaside retreat in Florida. Simply the fact that the two are meeting is a positive sign that provides some much-needed reassurance to a very uncertain relationship between the two countries. The entire Asia-Pacific region and the wider world have been nervously ...

Living through translated language
Living through translated language
Living in a world that is intensely globalized, artists are obliged to communicate with the international art world in a language that is not their native tongue. To maintain a bank with a translated biography, exhibition records, critic’s essays of the works and artist’s statements is the sine qua non for promoting the artist to the international art scene. As we know, Engli...

Betting on ROK's economic resilience
Betting on ROK's economic resilience
By Jeffrey I. Kim The world is closely watching the development of the political and security situation on the Korean peninsula. On March 10, former President Park Geun-hye’s impeachment was upheld. The Republic of Korea (ROK) will have a new president on May 10. During the election campaign, there will be hot debates on policy promises among different candidates....

Crisis of trust at Institut Pasteur
Crisis of trust at Institut Pasteur
What began as a yearlong cover-up by Christian Brechot, Marc Jouan, and Roberto Bruzzone, ended with a big blowout. Brechot confessed about misleading the public by attesting that the MERS virus brought to Paris posed no health risks; while, Bruzzone denied that MERS virus was taken to Paris, as we await the overdue results of the Korean CDC investigation. MERS samples were d...

Post-truth Korea grapples with Cold War
Post-truth Korea grapples with Cold War
Clearly, modern South Korea had its start in the Korean War. The national life is deeply rooted in the Korean people’s encounter with the terrible theater that roiled on the peninsula nearly seven decades ago. It was a glocal conflict, with a local corrosive struggle backed with a globally reverberating multi-national engagement. Demographically, it should be noted, the young...

Trump chooses confrontation on Korea
Trump chooses confrontation on Korea
The decision to refuse visas for North Korean officials to travel to New York for unofficial talks was attributed by the Washington Post to the “State Department.” Only unnamed sources were linked to the story. Again without attribution to any individual, the reason was claimed to be the death in Malaysia of Kim Jung Nam, half-brother of the North Korean leader. It was sugges...

Park's alternative world
Park's alternative world
President Park Geun-hye's world is that of an autistic. The ongoing impeachment trial has been presented as a circus to everyone except her and her ardent, flag-waving supporters. Obviously, she is involuntarily inserted in the spectacle because of her inability to give a better explanation of what happened. What is so surprising is that when she could voluntarily engage to g...

Here Mattis confirms US on sidelines
Here Mattis confirms US on sidelines
US Defense Secretary James Mattis confirmed during his visit to Korea that the US is unlikely to join in the game of improving the atmosphere or lowering tension in the Northeast Asian region for the foreseeable future. That was the underlying message of the long-expected but barely-relevant statements from Mattis during his visit to Seoul. Mirroring North Korean claims, the ...

Imperial presidents
Imperial presidents
The recent protests that have swept first Korea and then the U.S. have a common theme: they represent efforts to curb the threat of “imperial presidencies.” Both countries are now grappling with constitutional issues in the wake of Choi-gate and the election of Donald Trump as U.S. president.
